eyes

I used to think that if you rubbed your eyes with different pressures that one of them would pop out more then the other one... I believed this until I was about 11

i used to believe that i had a camera in my head, and that when i blinked i could take pictures and would always remember them. my granny crushed this idea when i told her of this amazing photographic brain i had by reminding me i had a 'memory'!

If i cover my eyes and cant see anyone then they cant see me cause i cant see them!

Megs!

around the age of 5 or 6 i became paranoid about my eyes. i thought that if i ever touched them, even by accident, like rubbing an itch, than my eyes would fall into my head and i would never get them back.

When I was little, up until I was about 13, I used to think that "ovaries" were in your eyes.

Until I was about 10, I was convinced that people put contact lenses into the back of their eyes.... I was stubborn and wouldn't listen to anything people told me... but now I wear contacts.. so obviously I know that they don't go in the back now!

As a child a, I remeber my parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles telling me that if I crossed my eyes that that one day they could get stuck that away. They also said that it was permenant unless a horse was going to kick me.

You know when the sun goes behind a cloud and it suddenly turns darker? Well, I used to believe that this only happened when I closed my eyes. Therefore, when I was sleepy and blinked a lot it would be getting darker, and when I went to sleep it would go completely dark.

Sometime around my gradeschool years, I remember learning a really neat trick that was (for lack of a better word,) popular. I don't quite remember all of the details, but it was something to the effect of having someone close his/her eyes and look downward for a while, then think of a number between 1 and 3 (inclusive), have them open their eyes and look upward. Then, by looking closely at the bottom part of their eyes, there would be either 1, 2 or 3 veins prominent, depending on which number they had been thinking of. Personally, I always found this fascinating, but as far as I can tell now, it either doesn't really work, or it only works with kids...

I used to think an eyeball, if cut in half lengthwise, would look like a hard boiled egg. I couldn't eat one of them until I was much much older

Ever since I was 12, I believed that my mom really saw a guy sneeze his eyes out. So whenever someone sneezed, I'd yell out "Close your eyes!"

When I was little, my brother told me that if you looked through a cardboard tube for like toilet paper or paper towels, and you looked down, your eye would fall out.

I used to think a lot about "favourite colours" and "favourite numbers". I used to wonder, if maybe, what I saw as red, other people saw as blue or green or something, and vice versa. I really hated the colour red, so I thought this might have been an explanation as to why some people's favourite colour was red.
